Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen star as best friends whose lives are changed by a cancer diagnosis in this new comedy directed by Jonathan Levine from a script by Will Reiser. 50/50 is the story of a guys transformative and, yes, sometimes funny journey to health - drawing its emotional core from Will Reisers own experience with cancer and reminding us that friendship and love, no matter what bizarre turns they take, are the greatest healers.
